There is a nuclear danger currently raging in Ukraine, specifically in the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, and this is serious and it will end up affecting all of us, no matter which side does it, and we must take it seriously.
In August and November of last year there seemed to be a real threat. Even the international atomic energy agency was concerned about this, but since then things have cooled down again, the fact that a nuclear attack of that size does not make much sense now because the plant is disconnected from the Ukrainian power grid, so attacking it would not make much strategic military sense.
In addition, because it is already in the hands of the Russian side, it would of course imply not only global condemnation, it would also imply that the release of radiation that could affect more than a million people is the most disastrous, but to warn of an attack that is another story friends we are talking about serious words we cannot use it as a speech to attract international focus as here comes the wolf.
What is a fact is that both sides have accused each other of planning attacks in Zaporizhzhia, so this means that there is something in the background and the truth, friends, is that Ukraine has also been using these warnings to gather financial support, for example, the organization international atomic energy backed zelensky's penultimate statements even his director visited zaporizhzhia three times but the issue here is this ukraine trying to increase pressure on russia or is it a nuclear threat this time this time if the wolf comes.
The fact is that it was Russia who is currently in control of the plant since March this year and Ukraine last year, Ukraine controlled the Zaporizhzhia plant but Russian troops fought to take it and have been in control ever since, so It is evident friends that the Kremlin did have an interest in it.
Of the 10 largest nuclear power plants in the world, four are located in Ukraine, in fact, Ukraine is among the top 10 energy producers in the world, that puts us in perspective of how serious this plant is in the middle of a war, not only of the important thing in the Ukrainian economic infrastructure also of the danger that it becomes like a nuclear weapon, the one who controls that plant can see it for war nuclear purposes basically whoever controls the energy in the war controls a significant part of the daily life of the people and the running part of the nation, and especially in the winter.
This is only part of the problem, there is something much more at stake here in all this, Russia could also be using fear as a weapon and Ukraine too, both can practically take the nuclear plant hostage in the middle of this conflict , and that is worrying and we are already seeing it both sides accuse each other, that is not a new concept. Friendly nations have always used fear to manipulate and control populations for centuries.
And as a war strategy this is also very common but now we are talking about fear on a nuclear scale, an accident at a nuclear plant is not just a matter of a power outage, we are talking about a threat to the lives of millions of people and there we can see something similar very closely remember, chernobyl also in Ukraine one of the worst nuclear disasters in history that caused the death and illness of thousands of people and affected a very large region of Ukraine itself to date that is why these words and these threats in Ukraine especially resonate and affect us so much despite the fact that this happened already more than 30 years ago.
